Being Destroyed -1< Protest From the Deputy, Minister or Fisheries. The Deputy Minister of Fisheries insists that the turning of ._sawdust into rivec? frequented by food fishes destroys the spawning beds and diminishes the fish pro- duced, his attitude on the question beim:: based upon the reports of the superintend- ent of fish culture, Mr. Samuel Wilmot.. An ex -inspector of fisheries for Nova Scotia, Mr, Rogers, takes the directly opposite position; and cites statistics to show that in waters into which vast quantities of saw- dust have been emptied—the St. John (N. B.) river and harbor, for example—there has been an increase in THE SHAD FISHERY SAVED BY A NEWSPAPER, The Story of an Ottawa Basines3 Man. Afflicted With Deafness and Partial Par- alysis—obliged to Give up Qis Basi- aess on Account of These Infirmities— To the Surprise of Ws Friends Has Been Fully Restored to. health. From the Ottawa Free Press Mr. R. Ryan, who is well-known in Otta- wa and vicinity, having been until recently a merchant of this city, relates an experi- ence that cannot fail to prove interestintr to all our readers. It is well-known to -Mr. Ryan's acquaintances that he has been al- most totally deaf since twelve years of age, from 423 barrels in 1878 to 4,648 barrels in and that some time ago this affliction was IS9e,and " the salmon and alewife fisheries made still more heavy by a stroke of partial give evidence in the same direction, though paralysis. Recently it has been -noticed not so pronounced," The St. John river s that Mr. Ryan has been cured of these alleged to be " the most sawdust -covered storytroubles, and aa reporter thinking that his river in Canada, except, perhaps, the Ot• requested 1pernaissi©n to makehit public, and tawa," Mr. Wilmot declares that water it was given by Mr. Ryan as follows :—" In polluted by sawdust cannot be utilized for the fall of 1883, when I was about twelve planting fry in, while Mr. MacFarlane, an years of age, in the analyst of the Inland Revenue Department, head, which graduallytdevelopeda severeointo deal - who tested the Ottawa water, found no nese, and daily became worse, until in the . evidence of sawdust having injured the month of July, 1884, I had become totally wa'.-er in any way.

At first I gave no department, that fish breathe is most humil- heed to the pain, thinking it would disappear iating, because everybody knows they do but on the contraryit grew wors, and not; that they have no'lungs to enable the course of a feweeks I haden to use is them to do so.' At various other points cane and could scarcely bear any weight on these AUTHORITIES ON FISH my leg. I continued to go aboc't this way for two weeks, when a similar cramp attack- ed my left arm, and in less than twa weeks, in spite of all I could do for it, I could not raise the arm four inches from my body ani I found . that the trouble was partial paralysis. Judge my condition—a leg and an arm useless, and deaf besides. Being able to do nothing else, I read a great ileal and one day noticed in one of the city pap- ers of a man being cured of paralysis by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I immediately began the use of Pink Pills and before I had finish- ed the third box 1 noticed a curious sensa- tion in my Ieg, and the pain began to leave it excepting when I endeavored to walk. Well, the improvement continued, gradual- ly extended to my arm, and by the tune I had completed the seventh box my leg and arm were as well as ever, and my gener- al health waimuch better. And now comes a stranger part of my experience. I began to wonder why people who were conversing with me would shout -so Ioud. Of course they ;had always had to shout owing to my deafness, but I was under the impression that they were beginning to shout much louder. • After having bade them 'speak lower' several times, I enquir- ed why they still persisted in shouting, or rather yelling at tine, and was surprised to be informed that they were not speaking as IoudIy as formerly. This led to an in- vestigation and judge my joy when I found that Pink Pills were curing the deafness which was supposed to have been caused by catarrh. I continued the Pink Pills for a month and a half longer, and Inow consider myself perfectly cured after having been deaf for ten years.' I can hear ordinary conversation and am fit for business, though I am yet a little dull of hearing, but this is not deafness, it is simply dulness, the result of my ten years inability to hear conversations, which still leaves me with an inclination not to heed what is being said. But I am all right and you may say from me that I consider Dr. Williams'"Pink Pills the best medicine known to man, and that I shall be forever indebted to them for my renewed health and strength. Newspaper ethics usually prevent the publication in the news columns of any- thing that might be construed as an advertisement, and thus much valuable information is suppressed that might prove of incalculable benefit to thousands. The praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be sung throughout the land, they should be familiar in every household, and newspapers should unite in_ making them so. ' An analysis shows that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give life and richness to the blood, and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralaysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, nervous prostration, all diseases depending on vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.. Fhey are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as supressions, irregulari- ties, and all forms of weakness. They build -up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are manufac- tured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Com- pany. Brockville, Ont:, and Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in this -shape) at 50 cents a box; or six boxes for $2.50, and maybe had of all druggists or direct by=mail from, Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, from either address. come into direct conflict, the quarrel being a very pretty one. We have reason to sup- pose that the failure of the fish hatcheries - to produce the results at one time antici- pated for them is leading the officials to look around for excuses for their failure. After over twenty years of experiment- ing in planting young salmon in the waters of Ontario, the Department dis- coveredthat the water of the streams was too warm ; that there was too much sediment from the drainage of farm lands; and other drawbacks. Nothing was said of the fact that the sal- mon is, in part of its yearly life, a salt water fish,and that the young salmon were being fed by the Government into the maws of the lake pickerel. The excuse for failure in other rivers, it appears, is sawdust; and while sawdust as an article of food may not be of much value to the fry, it would seem, according to ex -inspector Rogers, not to be particularly detrimental. There are other reasons, however, why sawdust should be kept OUT OF THE RIVERS of the country, and these are backed up by stringent government, regulations, which in many instances remain a dead letter. Whether the presence of sawdust is a draw- back to fish culture or not, this material should not be permitted to be thrown into our great streams, where it forms bars and shoals, to the injury of navigation. The Department of Marine and Fisheries has ordered the enforcement of the law in some streams, while in others of much greater importance it has permitted the law to be defied in the most open manner. Political ' pulls' are said to be responsible for this partial administration of a just and necessary law. A BATTLE FOUGHT IN 15 MINUTES. Defeat of the Solas by the British -2o e f the Enemy Killed --400 Slaves Set Free. A London despatch says :—The War Of- fice has received a despatch sent from Free Town, Sierra Leone, to -day, giving the de- spatches sent by Colonel A. B. Ellis, Com- mander of the British forces operating against the • Sofas in the interior of Sierra Leone. Col. Ellis'. despatches are dated Tungea, Jan. 9. He says that he started from Warina on Dec. 26. After crossing a section of the country 42 miles broad, through the whole extent of which the Sofas had been going reeently, the British expedition reached the Rum River on Dec. 29th. Here a successful attempt was made to establish communication with the Konnos who. were hidden in the forest on the fur- ther bank of the river, The Konnos in- formed the British that the main body of the Sofas had crossed the river on Dee. 18. They had destroyed Yardu, though the people of that place had hitherto been on friendly terms with them. The Sofas then proceeded to Kerrayemna for the purpose of joining others of the tribe, their intention being to attack the British at Tungea. The column crossed the Bim River in pursuit of the natives and reached Kerra Yemna on Dec. 31. The place was found to be a perfect charnel house. ' The Sofas had slaughtered the inhabitan ts,men,women and children, and then left. The British bivouacked in the forest on the night of Jan. 1. Long before daybreak, on the morning of the 2nd, the British started in pursuit of the enemy, who had evidently changed their minds about -attackingthe British. At four o'clock in the warning the British came raInn the Sofas and fell upon them. The enemy was taken completely by sur- prise. The place had -been strongly block- aded, but the: Britieh ;caied the position in aquarter of an hour. Ttvo hundred of the Sofas were killed and 70 were taken prison. ere. Over 100 staves, women and children, were rescued. The horde" of Sofas slave -traders were completely dispersed. The only casualties sustained by . the British were the severe wounding of Lieut, Gwynn and one private. " I -hearlook Staylong was around to :call on' Phyllislast n�ght when --you-wer there -1!"
